Variant angina in the elderly
Variant angina is a type of spontaneous angina. In 1959, Prinzmetal et al. named ischemic angina caused by coronary artery spasm as "variant angina", pointing out that the onset of this angina is not related to activity, the pain occurs at rest, the ST segment is elevated during the attack, and the ST segment is depressed after the attack, and no pathological Q wave appears. The pain is mainly caused by coronary artery spasm, and many people suffer from myocardial infarction and death within half a year.
